Photo of three boys - George Baker, Charlie Baker, and Norman Broley - standing in the street, with two buildings visible behind them. The boys are dressed in long sleeved shirts and trousers, and are wearing newsboy caps. The building directly behind them is Monkman's General Store and appears to have several items on display in the front window. It has lightly coloured siding and the name "R.B. Boddy" painted across the side. When first constructed on 9 Queen Street, the building consisted of a store and home dwelling, with a connecting door inside. As time passed the entire building became dedicated to business ventures. Early owners included the McMahons, the Clements, the Boddys, the Hoppers, the Arnolds, Fisher's Superior Store, and R.B. Scott. The building was damaged and nearly destroyed in two different fires (1924 and 1948). Telephone poles line the street and a girl carrying a box or parcel is just visible in the background.
